Is anyone having problems with their Vyvanse capsules?

[shadowgun1102]

I take Vyvanse 20mg. I received a new batch from Express Scripts yesterday and they felt different so I started looking at the capsules and they are only half full.  I called Express Scripts and they said that it was probably just settling from shipping.  But I've never had that happen  before.  Not sure where to go from here or who to call.  Any suggestions? Thanks!

I was looking into that and reading about it online and i was gonna talk to my sons doctor about him taking that what are the side effects on that

I actually opened several Vyvanse capsules last month and noticed they were all packed full of powered medication, then when I opened some this month they're all half full! And because I've seen the capsules totally full I can guarantee it's not settling! This is very bad because it's making it seem like the dose isn't enough prompting for an increase! Then if the increase has full capsules it's going to be too much! I'm not sure, but I would think my pharmacy receives the Vyvanse capsules pre-filled? Otherwise it'd take much too long to fill it.. I'm definitely going to try and contact the company who supplies this to my pharmacy.. Especially when I'm reading about this issue from several people over the past couple of years, so it's definitely worth trying to get a resolution

Now, I gotta ask. Why are you opening the capsules? They are distributed prefilled by the manufacturer.  You can call but typically, pharmaceuticals are held to high standards before releasing for shipping to pharmacies. Generics less so but still regulated.  The pharmacists do not open/fill capsules ever.

If it’s only half full, you should feel the difference around 8 hours after taking them.  Of course you could also weigh by pouring out the V, but that would take a very accurate scale.
